We have a minor but annoying problem.
Recently I have installed the ATK package at our site. But instead of the
icons which are mentioned in the documentation ("bar"-icon,
"time-glass", etc.)
I always see a letter (eg. the letter "H" when a "bar"-icon is supposed
to appear).
I think some path or variable have been set wrongly during configuring,
and consequently the icon-library hasn't been included. But in the directory
$ANDREWDIR/lib/xicons there *are* icon-files (I think they are):
con1.icon@ ez.icon@ msgs.icon@ tx.icon@
con2.icon@ help.icon@ pipe.icon@ xatk.icon@
con3.icon@ itc.icon@ sendmsg.icon@
Anyone know a solution to this problem?

I believe you may be confusing two different types of "icons". 1) the "bar"-icon which appears as the letter "H" -- these are specific characters in a specific font (presumably it is the "H" characters -- I believe the font should be icon12.snf). Check to make sure all the fonts were "built" and installed properly, including the creation/modification of the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files that should be in your X11fonts directory. 2) $ANDREWDIR/lib/xicons -- these are bitmaps for use with various X window managers such that when an application is iconified you can use something other than the default iconic symbol for it. Hope this helps some. --fish
